Maple Bacon and Walnut Kale Salad

March 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment

The idea of a kale salad is tough to swallow for some but try it smothered in warm maple walnuts and crispy bacon. I guarantee you’ll feel differently about the sturdy, vitamin-packed green! We all know the health benefits of bacon, right? Pair that with fiber-packed, iron-rich kale and you have a keto superfood salad! The robust kale leaves are smothered in rich, fatty nuts that have been lightly caramelized in the bacon grease and a hint of maple flavor. The accent of sweet onion paired ...

Chimichurri Chicken Salad

Chimichurri Chicken Salad

December 18, 2018 by Leave a Comment

This South American fusion dish is a festive meal for kids and adults. It’s an explosion of flavor and textures with spices, creamy avocado, greens, and chicken. You can use the chimichurri sauce as a salad dressing or sauté the chicken with it. This recipe has minimal prep time; the most time-consuming part will be peeling and cubing the avocado (I don’t know about you, but for me, it’s on par with folding a fitted sheet!) The chopped oregano and chili flakes can be substituted for dried and ...

Keto Asparagus, Egg, and Bacon Salad

Keto Asparagus, Egg, and Bacon Salad

April 7, 2020 by Leave a Comment

An asparagus salad topped with bacon and eggs, then dressed with a tangy dijon vinaigrette.  The dressing is easily made with pantry staples that you likely have on hand.  That makes it great for whipping up any time you find great asparagus. You can save time by making extra hard-boiled eggs or bacon when you cook them for other recipes.  That way, all you have to do is blanch the asparagus and create the dressing.  I like to have both in my fridge at all times. Yields 2 servings of ...

Homemade Keto Caesar Salad

Homemade Keto Caesar Salad

April 21, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Here's how you can make a classic Caesar salad at home, with keto-friendly ingredients.  We add plenty of Parmesan cheese and dressing but skip the croutons in favor of crispy bacon.  If you've already got leftover chicken on hand, then you could make this for lunch in no time at all. The dressing uses anchovy fillets, giving it that classic flavor profile,  but if you can't stand them then feel free to skip it.  Another tip is that if you can find jarred anchovies then use those instead ...

Simple Asian Cucumber Salad

Simple Asian Cucumber Salad

March 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

A refreshing salad with a hint of tang! This Asian cucumber salad is great for get-togethers, work potlucks, or as a small salad with lunch or dinner. Now, this recipe only makes one serving, but cooking for two? Just double the ingredients! I used a gluten-free soy sauce for the dressing, but alternatively, you could use coconut aminos. You could also add in some extra ingredients, like avocado and onions but be careful because that will bring the carb count higher! Yields 1 servings ...

Tangy Bacon Egg Salad

Tangy Bacon Egg Salad

December 13, 2013 by 4 Comments

The good ol' egg salad. Nothing wrong with that, right? Wrong. I have so many bad memories of egg salads being brought to barbecues, left out in the sun for hours, and served out to everyone. That taste of the eggs starting to rot is so off-putting, I haven't allowed myself to make one in a long time, but I decided to experiment with this tangy bacon egg salad. The distinct taste of the red onions really take this dish to the next level! It's spicy, tangy, and goes great with meat. Meat!? ...

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad

August 31, 2017 by 3 Comments

I’ve always have a love affair with fresh mozzarella, but as we all know even on a ketogenic diet no food is truly “unlimited.” A traditional caprese salad used to be my go-to at any potluck because the vibrant mix of fresh basil and creamy mozzarella was better than any of those other lettuce based salads…until now! The beauty of this, warm twist on a classic, is that it is much more filling but with all of the traditional flavor. Because the salad base is fiber packed spinach, it ...
